Mercedes-Benz and AMG are out and working on the next generation of one of that company’s oddest, and most exciting products; the totally bananas E63 AMG wagon.
Just the thing for sports car lovers who’ve a few kids, dogs, or loveseats to haul around, the radical E-Class is said to be sporting a 6.2-liter V-8 capable of more than 500 horsepower. The package will also feature huge cross-drilled brakes, a large set of quad exhaust pipes, lowered ride height (natch), and a new bumper with huge air intakes. We are still scratching our heads about the rear light clusters seen in these photos—a treatment that looks as much like a triple set of Maglites and some bicycle reflectors as anything right now—but we’ve no doubt that Mercedes will get the car all prettied up before launch.
Take a closer look at the AMG wagon in our gallery above and read on below for the spy shooter’s own comments.
What do you do if the family and the 2 big dogs you have don’t fit into your Porsche 911 anymore? Well, don’t worry; Mercedes AMG are developing a substitute for all you + 500 horsepower lovers. The new Mercedes E 63 AMG wagon.
It may not look as sporty as the Porsche, but beware when you put that pedal to the floor, this 6.2 liter V8 powered + 500 horsepower wagon will scare one or two sport car owners when showing up in the rear mirror. And when you have overtaken them, all they will remember are the four big exhaust pipes screaming “looser” to them.
At a closer inspection they will notice the big brakes with cross drilled discs behind those gigantic wheels and the lowered suspension. A new front bumper with some larger air intakes will be the most noticeable from the discreet body kit.
But, there is just one problem; you have to wait until the Frankfurt Car Show in September 2009 until you can get it.
